Four people face felony charges in a Halloween weekend attack that left a young woman beaten and bleeding in a Jacksonville Beach parking lot, police announced Thursday, Nov. 5.
The Jacksonville Beach Police Department arrested Koehn Meazzo, 18, along with a 17-year-old girl, a 16-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy, according to News4Jax. The three minors were not named.
The 22-year-old victim was walking to her car in the 200 block of Beach Boulevard around 1:40 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, when she was assaulted, police said. She suffered a fractured nose, a swollen cheek and eye, and several cuts to her face. She was treated at a hospital and released.
All four suspects are charged with felony battery causing great bodily harm, permanent disability or disfigurement, and mob intimidation, police said.
Meazzo also faces charges of unarmed robbery by sudden snatching and criminal mischief. The 16-year-old girl faces additional charges of possessing a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, according to The Citizen.
Two witnesses told officers they were in a nearby McDonald's parking lot when they heard a scream. They ran toward the sound, found the victim bleeding on the ground and called 911, according to an incident report obtained by The Citizen. Neither witness saw the attack.
The arrests followed a joint investigation between Jacksonville Beach police and Duval County School Board Police, according to First Coast News.
The police department's announcement did not say what led to the assault or specify what role each suspect is alleged to have played.
